# Client Support Grid
This grid tries to gather Evennia-specific knowledge about the various clients and protocols used.
Everyone's welcome to report their findings.
This grid tries to gather info about different MU clients when used with Evennia.
If you want to report a problem, update an entry or add a client, make a
new [documentation issue](github:issue) for it. Everyone's encouraged to report their findings.
##### Legend:
- **Name**: The name of the client. If it's only available for a specific OS, it should be noted
here too.
- **Name**: The name of the client. Also note if it's OS-specific.
- **Version**: Which version or range of client versions were tested.
- **Comments**: Any comments or quirks on using this client with Evennia should be added here. Also
note if some other protocol than Telnet is used (like Websockets, SSH etc).
- **Comments**: Any quirks on using this client with Evennia should be added here.

## Workarounds for client issues:
### Issue: Telnet NOP displays as spurious character.
Known clients:
* [BlowTorch][16] (Andr)
* [Mukluk][17] (Andr)
* BlowTorch (Andr)
* Mukluk (Andr)
Workaround:
* Set the command in game to `@option NOPKEEPALIVE=off` for the session, or use the `/save`
parameter to disable it for that Evennian account permanently.
* In-game: Use `@option NOPKEEPALIVE=off` for the session, or use the `/save`
parameter to disable it for that Evennia account permanently.
* Client-side: Set a gag-type trigger on the NOP character to make it invisible to the client.
### Issue: Won't send blank line on Enter key press.
Known clients:
* [Potato][8]
Workaround:
* Press Control Enter, then Enter key again to send blank line.
